Got it to 3.5ghz @1.35v, memory is at 1050mhz 5-4-4-15 completley rock solid, have been trying for ages to get 3.6 stable and it just won't have it at all.

no matter how much voltage i put through the chip and loosen timings on the ram it's still unstable, p95 errors after about 2 - 3 mins on the 2nd core everytime.

temps are 50 - 52 full load which are fine to me

It boots up until about 3.85ghz and anything more than that just results in a blank screen.

I went a bit drastic earlier and put the maximum voltage the board would allow (p5n-e sli)through the chip and NB, 1.6v + 1.674v :eek:, also dropped the ram down to 600mhz and auto'd the timings which are ridicliously loose.

Still isn't stable and fails p95 in a few minutes. Is this the board or chip that's limiting me, I personally feel that it's the board but what do i know :).

Spotted the Foxconn BlackOps for £80, debating wether or not to take a shot with it, is it a bargain at £80 or forget about it?

not gonna bother changing the chip as goin for i5/i7 in a week or so. Just wanna see what i can get outta this badboy :)
